Chapter 222: Gossip and New Missions

The most advanced universal tools in the entire galaxy are currently provided by two places, one is the political center of the galaxy: the Citadel. The Ghost Vestige area has a number of prototype chips, and the other is the birthplace of various prototype technologies in the galaxy: Novellia.

They won't be going back to the Divine Castle for the time being, so Shen Chao set his sights on Novella, the planet they will definitely go to in future missions. He has to prepare a small amount of money for this, and strive to replace it with the best multi-tool chip at one time.

But for now, he still has to prepare for a mission to another planet. Their next target, Philos, is barely a habitable planet, with plenty of water, dense vegetation, an atmosphere that can breathe directly, and a higher oxygen level than on Earth.

Overall, if it weren't for the fact that the planet's atmosphere is so thick that it blocks too much light, it would probably have been transformed into a resort or administrative planet.

The development of this planet is a conglomerate on Earth, where they invest a lot, mainly in energy development. At least that's what their development report says.

In total, there are 3 main function buildings, where a total of 300 employees live and work. At least that's the number before the attack, and as for now, how much is left after nearly a week of Jace's attack, it's up to them to see for themselves when they arrive.

Shen Chao made some simple but reliable stun grenades with Tully's help, and he remembered some of the threats in the original plot.

Besides. He continued to learn more about the Normandy. He did his best to understand the details of the operation and maintenance of this starship, and accumulated strength for him to select or purchase warships in the future.

Two days passed quickly, and Shen Chao was familiar with most of the people on the ship, but he was still not familiar with the new Liara, because he found that Shepard seemed to like to go to the Asari room regularly.

Although it was very likely that Sister Xue was there to listen to the information, Shen Chao couldn't help but think of some other interesting possibilities. Moreover, he is not the only crew member who has made such guesses.

On this day, the turbine crew was undergoing routine maintenance, and they dismantled a quick panel of the engine room to inspect and maintain the systems. As a side effect, the entire ship was filled with noise of different degrees.

This kind of inspection is not surprising, because in the strict sense of the word, the Normandy was originally in the sea trials, and many of the inspections and collection work were not completed. That's what the turbine crew is doing now.

In order to avoid noise. Shen Chao was playing cards with a few teammates on the bottom deck, and there had been several similar games, except for Shepard, the other marines had basically participated in their games.

The people involved this time were Lex, Garrus, and Kayden. It was one of the few pastimes they had on board. Kayden, in particular, wears two positions on his own, and when he has free time, he plays cards with them.

Speaking of these people's poker skills, Lex is undoubtedly the best among them, losing very little, and can laugh it off regardless of victory or defeat.

Garrus is the best at stealing cards, which is different from his style of life. This Touareg man is very skilled at stealing cards, and his hand speed is very fast. If it weren't for Shen Chao's eyesight, it is estimated that he would have been deceived by his super-fast hand movements. But he never debunked.

When Cayden shuffles the cards, it is also obvious that there are often small movements. In short, none of them are the kind of people who play their cards according to the rules. At this moment, several people are sitting on the ground and playing cards in turn.

"Have you noticed, the Commander has been going to the Asares a lot these days......" Cayden snapped up the subject. His tone seemed casual, but Shen Chao still heard something suspected of jealousy.

After this period of understanding, Shen Chao knew that Kaiden seemed to have a little affection for Sister Xue, but this sullen guy didn't seem to dare to take the initiative to show his love. …,

"It was her own private matter. Kayden. She's stressed out more than we all do, and it's no surprise that there are some special ways to decompress. Shen Chao reminded with the cards in his hand.

He had little interest in Shepard's private affairs. No matter who Shepard rolls the sheets with, it has nothing to do with him. His only concern at the moment was when they would be able to defeat Salen so that he could claim the title of Ghost sooner rather than later.

However, he now somewhat understood why Sister Xue was so eager before she got this title, the temptation of the ghost title was too great. Once you get this title, you can basically do whatever you want.

"I understand her pressure. But why ...... with an Asare," Cayden was a little angry at this, and I don't know if it was because of the noise in the distance. He didn't even hide the jealousy in his tone.

"I don't understand why you're making this assumption. Captain, maybe they're just talking......" Garras persuaded him by patting Cayden on the shoulder.

He also seemed more concerned about Kayden's feelings. However, Shen Chao noticed that while persuading Kaiden, this thing also secretly changed a card for himself.

"You don't understand, Garas, it's our human instincts. Shen Chao shook his head and said, saying that he also changed a good card for himself. He doesn't take the initiative to cheat, but since Garras got off to a bad start......

"You're all too young, Shepard has a lot of vision, you know, it's a great pleasure to be with the Asarean ML, once you've tried it, it's hard to get back to the women of your own race......" Lex said in the name of the elders. The tone was obviously that he had personal experience.

As a few people were talking, Shen Chao noticed that the elevator door in the distance was open, but the sound of the door opening was muffled by the noise of the engine room. After Shepard stepped out of the elevator, she spoke a few words to the quartermaster before walking in their direction.

Seeing this, Shen Chao didn't say anything, and continued to lower his head and play cards. And Kayden was still venting his frustration on the side. Saying something, Shepard hadn't paid attention to himself or anything like that, not knowing that Shepard had already walked behind him.

"I just don't understand, what's so good about that Asare...... Cayden said this, only then did he notice that Shen Chao and Garas were both looking down at him, obviously holding back a smile.

Only Lex shook his head, kindly motioning for him to look back. As a result, Cayden glanced backwards, and then there was no then.

"Say, go on, Captain. I'm right in front of you......? Sister Xue crossed her arms and looked down at Kayden who was sitting on the ground. I can't tell if I'm happy or angry. At this time, Shen Chao and Garas, who were watching the play on the side, were about to laugh and cramp.

"I ......" Kayden had nothing more to say.

"You're going to be in charge of cleaning the bathrooms for a week starting today, are you okay, Captain?" Shepard saw that he had nothing to say, and punished him like that.

"Yes, sir......" Cayden replied feebly.

"Okay, since this is all said and done, you all pay attention, we will arrive at our destination in two hours, and we will all go and prepare our respective things......" Sister Xue explained the precautions that everyone knew, and then went back. Only Cayden was left to look angrily at the few guys in front of him who couldn't save him......

Two hours later, Normandy arrived in their destination system, and several of Jace's cruisers were detected cruising within the system without any doubts.

Under Shepard's command, the Joker docked Normandy at a port without Jace, and Shepard ordered all the Marines to assemble, this time with all their troops on the move.

This time they were faced with a very uncertain situation, the colony had been out of contact with the outside world for a week, and God knows how many Jaces were on the ground, so Shepard was prepared to play it safe and attack with all the force to increase their resilience. …,

Before landing, all the men were dressed in armor and gathered at the exit hatch with their weapons. Shen Chao also noticed that Liara, who had just boarded the ship, was also in the queue.

At this time, she was nervously adjusting her breathing, and it seemed that she had not been involved in a head-on conflict before. Through the understanding of Guò in the past two days, Shepard should have had a certain amount of trust in her. I was relieved to let her join her action.

Shepard arrived late, but she was fully armed when she arrived, and she seemed to be satisfied with the team's preparation. After a few words, she disembarked with her marines. For the first time, the Normandy Marines were also mobilized to participate in the operation.

All nine Marines, including Shepard and himself, participated in the landing. They formed groups of 33 and quickly disembarked and aimed their weapons in the direction of the enemy who might be in a qiē.

After they disembarked, Normandy returned to the skies and continued to play hide and seek with Jace's cruisers. After all, Normandy can't help on the ground either.

The whole group had not gone far from the port when they saw a human with a shotgun running out of a bunker dozens of meters away from a bunker in a panic. He shouted to them as he ran, needless to say, this must be the survivor here.

Upon getting closer, the tired-looking survivor immediately explained the current state of the colony, and it turned out that some of the survivors had organized themselves to resist Jace's attack in a nearby building.

Shepard arranged for the team to be on guard, while listening carefully to the information provided by the survivor. At the same time, Shen Chao had been paying attention to the situation in the vicinity.

As he expected, just as the survivor was talking, a group of Jace soldiers suddenly appeared at an exit dozens of meters away. It seems that their landing still attracted attention.

When Shen Chao saw this, he immediately pushed this survivor away, directly pushed him to the nearest bunker, and then hid in a bunker next to him, and began to exchange fire with the Jaces.

They were outnumbered this time, and even in terms of firepower alone, they were stronger than the Jace infantry squad opposite. So it's pretty easy to get rid of Jace in front of you.

Shen Chao didn't even shoot much, and it only took less than a minute for their entire team to wipe out all the dozen or so Jaces in front of them.

Shepard didn't dare to let them stay here for long, they didn't know how many Jaces there were in this colony, so they couldn't stay in this open area for long. RS
